Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

[Crumpp]

So you think the Merlin was designed to run at about 400 hp?

If that is what the engine produces at maximum continuous...YES.

Get a Spitfire Mk I POH and read the maximum continuous rating. That is the maximum power the engine is designed to safely and reliability produce.

Mixture control Normal = +4 1/2 lbs at 2600rpm

Why do you think the RAF called +12lbs "a definite overload condition"?
